FAQs

Woohoo! Welcome. It’s often best to aim to arrive after 10am for your first session to ensure other families will be on site to greet you and show you around. Our playgroup is run by parents who volunteer their time to help out. We have a relaxed environment and want you to feel right at home!

Our sessions run during the school term on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday between 9.00am-1.00pm and on Thursday afternoon 12.30pm - 4.30pm. Pop in any time that suits you during this time slot.

We’d love to see more of you! By enrolling for one day, you may attend as many other weekdays as you wish. There’s no need to change your enrolment. Please remember to sign in for all the sessions you attend.

It depends on the age of your child, how many children, and who is bringing the children e.g. parent or nanny. Children aged under 1 year are FREE and a term membership starts from $30.00 for 1 x child (aged 1 year and over) attending with a parent. Bonus: If you volunteer as a supervisor or committee member your term fees are FREE! You can find more information on pricing when you enrol here:

If you have any further questions about this, please email our Bookings Co-ordinator at: kpgbookings@gmail.com
